Ickle Cottage, Aslacton
Charming 18th Century Detached Cottage – No Onward Chain
Tucked away on a quiet country lane in the heart of the pretty Norfolk village of Aslacton, Ickle Cottage is a delightful detached 18th-century home full of warmth, character and charm — and offered with no onward chain.
Believed to date back to the 1700s, this enchanting cottage retains a wealth of original features including exposed beams, traditional wooden flooring and a beautiful brick fireplace, currently home to a wood burner — perfect for cosy Norfolk evenings. Newly double glazed to the front, the cottage blends period charm with practical modern improvements.
Step inside and you are welcomed into a bright yet cosy living room with a charming dining nook. Windows on three sides flood the space with natural light throughout the day, creating a wonderfully uplifting atmosphere. The living space flows naturally through to the kitchen, which features oak worktops and a classic butler sink, perfectly in keeping with the cottage’s character. Beyond the archway is an additional seating or reading area, offering flexibility for how you choose to use the space. A cottage door leads directly out to the sunny courtyard garden.
Upstairs, the generous double bedroom is both bright and inviting, with exposed beams and wooden floorboards adding to the character. It comfortably houses a queen size bed currently. The bathroom has been recently refurbished to create a stylish yet sympathetic space, complete with new triton shower and a skylight window that fills the room with natural light.
Outside, the private courtyard enjoys sunshine and provides a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. There is parking for one vehicle directly outside the property, along with a nearby lay-by offering additional parking for visitors.
